Discussion thread for day 25 of the Advent of Code - https://adventofcode.com/2021/day/25
So I will take those 40 stars, first time I've ever continued up to day 25. But then to only discover the 50th star is not available until you complete the missing 9! Hopefully will find some time to get those, but given I skipped them due to complexity on the day they were released, I'll probably be sat at 40 forever.
Macro
I had too much hardcoding originally, and it took a while to debug as a result. I don't win any tool golf solutions here, but it was much easier to work through the logic breaking it out in this way.
I got 35 stars, so I can't get star 2 in this question. If there is an available time for me, I might take remaining stars...

Macro
Bummed I couldn't get part 2. I have 38 stars, and a jump from 29 last year. Glad I do these to stay sharp.
Will try to get as many stars as possible, though now sure if I will ever get all 50 to finish it though. Some are pretty tricky.
My macro didn't start out so ugly, but I kept having to fix bugs and making it more complex...
finally, i reached 50 stars. 🎉 Really enjoy to solve the puzzles.🎉
there have some puzzles are still in my mind.
like:
flash fish, grouping is help to reduce tons of time.
the temp/fire graph, it is a good example to use the make group tool.
decode Bin number (the one with type id and operator), it train me to build a tree.
and the day 24 challenge. it have nothing information in Alteryx forum, i have to go to reddit and develop my own solution.
during these 2months, thank you @patrick_digan , @SeanAdams and others people to upload the workflow. so that i have some clues when i stuck.
What a lovely way to end AOC this year - very satisfying challenge, and very proud to have completed all of AOC with just base A this year!
The main worker called "Cucumber March" then iterates until there no moves possible
Finally: the actual moves are done by the "Make1Move" macro
